Chapter 916 Can't afford to lose

"Someone! Give me Miss Xia's body! Li Yao's eyes showed a cold light and shouted.

Li Yao should have called Xia Yulian's cousin, but now that she is so angry that she doesn't even bother to do it.

Everyone was a little surprised when they heard this, as if they didn't expect Li Yao to be so faceless to Xia Yulian and be searched in public, which was a great humiliation for a little girl who was about to leave the cabinet.

Even Xin Wuhou and Xia Yulian looked at Li Yao in disbelief, and then Xin Wuhou's face was a little annoyed, while Xia Yulian looked a little flustered.

Several maids and ladies who accompanied Li Yao and others listened to Li Yao's instructions, glanced at each other, and then stepped forward.

If it was replaced by the concubines of the Hou Mansion next to them, they might have to hesitate to do so, would it be a little inappropriate, but the subordinates who had stayed in the General's Mansion for a long time had already seen that the Xinwu Hou family was not pleasing to the eye, and at this time Li Yao ordered them to search their bodies, and everyone was naturally not polite.

"Wait!"

Seeing that several maids and women were really going to search Xia Yulian's body, Xin Wuhou immediately scolded, causing those people to pause, and then looked at Li Yao and asked:

"Little Lord! You actually listened to the words of your subordinates and let people search your cousin's body? ”

Xin Wuhou's face was slightly red, obviously angry.

Li Yao turned his head to look at Xin Wuhou and snorted coldly, "Do you know what she stole from her?" ”

Xin Wuhou frowned, and then replied, "Isn't it just a pearl?" ”

After speaking, Xin Wuhou thought that Li Yaoxu had just come back from the countryside and had never seen anything good at all, so he valued a pearl so much.

After all, when Lu Shufen and his daughter-in-law, and even many concubines in his mansion married into his Xinwu Hou Mansion, they didn't bring a dowry, but the Xinwu Hou Mansion has been in debt over the years, and most of the things they brought to his mansion couldn't keep it.

Xinwuhou felt that an ordinary pearl was nothing, but Li Yao had never seen a good thing, and when he heard the value of that good pearl, wasn't it rare.

Thinking like this, Xin Wu Hou hurriedly said: "Even if Yulian is greedy and takes your things, just let her give it back to you, but it's just a pearl, and I believe that Wu Hou Mansion is worthy of paying you an extra one." ”

Although this pearl is a valuable jewelry, it is also divided into size and color, and the round and flawless pearl is relatively more valuable, because such pearls can be made into jewelry, beautiful and dazzling, and more crooked melon cracked date pearls can only be used for medicinal purposes.

If it is a round pearl, starting from the smallest pearl, there are dozens of hundreds of texts, a slightly larger a few taels, a dozen taels or even hundreds of taels of silver, a pearl worth a thousand taels, it is already very large, such pearls are relatively rare and rare, usually collected in the hands of the noble and rich, and because the wealthy ladies of the Great Zhou prefer pearls, the value of this good pearl is more and more high.

And Xin Wuhou thought in his heart, even if his daughter Yulian stole Li Yao's pearl, which was worth more than a thousand taels, he would go back and pick it out from Lu Shufen and his daughter-in-law, and it would not be impossible to pick it out, so he said it very easily.

Li Yao sneered when she heard this.

Seeing this, Xin Wuhou immediately said a little unpleasantly: "What are you laughing at?" Is a pearl worth turning the other cheeks of our two relatives? ”

Li Yao curled her lips slightly, and said coldly: "The pearl in the main house of this county is the one who sold your Xinwu Hou family, and you can't afford to pay for it!" ”

Xin Wuhou was a little annoyed when he heard this, and said without thinking about it: "What kind of pearl, I don't believe I can't afford to pay it?" ”

This little girl is too underestimated by him! Just a pearl, can he not afford to pay for it?

As far as he saw the pearl that the emperor rewarded Li Yao in the morning, he couldn't say that he couldn't afford to lose, although he might be able to find such a big one, but he could find a few more pearls that could offset the value of such a large pearl.

Xinwuhou has been eating and drinking women for so many years, and he doesn't care about the family's finances, so he naturally feels that it is very easy to get anything, anyway, all the women in his house are stupid, he talks sweetly, and no matter how much coercion and temptation he has, he will not be able to get it.

However, Xin Wuhou didn't know that the queen gave Li Yao a rare pearl at all.

He could find out about Li Yao's being named the county lord, and that was because the county lord had passed through several departments of the imperial court, and almost all of them spread in the palace, so there were naturally more officials who knew about it, and it was not difficult for people outside to inquire about it.

But when the queen rewarded Li Yao with pearls that day, there were only people in the queen's palace, the two concubines of the Zhao family, Concubine Daixian, and a few princes and princesses.
